Lake Worth City Commission: Comments and Liaison Reports—6/2/15

A couple of noteworthy items during this section of the meeting are discussion of the ITN process related to the Casino complex/beach and some revisionist history by certain Commissioners. At about the 9:45 mark, Commissioner Amoroso brings up the ITN status and reviews the recommendations by the ITN Selection Committee. It will likely be talked about again at a future meeting and it sounded like the Commission would like to have presentation by the respondents.

At the 21 minute mark, Commissioner McVoy applies some revisionist history in referring to the Greater Bay settlement saying that he doesn't want to get into the position where the city is seen as promising something and creating an excuse for a developer to sue us. My advice would then be to not enter a contract with a private entity and then unilaterally break it. He seemed to want the City Attorney to give some sort of assurance that the city won't be in that position if they even go forward with a meeting. Argh!

Towards the end of the first video (this is a playlist of two to include the Mayor's comments as the videos are limited to a little over 27 minutes), we are treated to another claim that Commissioner Maier was on the Sister City Board (he was, but in name only). It does seem like the whole advisory board appointment process will be looked at in the future.
